The LM330-N 5V 3-terminal positive voltage regulator features an ability to source 150 mA
of output current with an input-output differential of 0.6V or less. Familiar regulator features
such as current limit and thermal overload protection are also provided.
The low dropout voltage makes the LM330-N useful for certain battery applications since
this feature allows a longer battery discharge before the output falls out of regulation. For
example, a battery supplying the regulator input voltage may discharge to 5.6V and still properly
regulate the system and load voltage. Supporting this feature, the LM330-N protects both itself and
regulated systems from negative voltage inputs resulting from reverse installations of
batteries.
Other protection features include line transient protection up to 26V, when the output
actually shuts down to avoid damaging internal and external circuits. Also, the LM330-N regulator
cannot be harmed by a temporary mirror-image insertion.
